Good for a large family

Well set out for a large amount of people. Plenty of hang out spaces and bathrooms but also a large dining area for everyone to eat together. Good communication by the host. It could benefit from a deep clean though

Another perfect stay

This was our 5th year staying at Lilly’s Pad for our annual weekend away and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Such a beautiful location and the house itself is very well equipped and easily copes with a large crowd.

tranquillity

This property is in a amazing setting, with beautiful vistas and glorious surroundings. As well the house is clean and tidy. It is a bit unfortunate that it is a little unloved. We arrived to an unkept back garden. The bathroom nearest the kitchen had a shower rose that would not stay up. In the end we had to devise a system that would allow us to use it. As well in the same bathroom the tap in the shower has faulty washers and dripped continually all night as it was impossible to turn the water of. In the kitchen there is a double power point hanging off the wall, which is very dangerous . Apart from this we all had a pleasant stay

We were disappointed in the age of the property and the floor needs a good clean. I was aware that usually families stay at the property and it would be excellent for them. Payer’s restaurant was excellent

Great Family weekend

We enjoyed our stay & found the location was terrific. Unfortunately the weather was against us, as it rained the whole weekend. The gutters over flowed & therefore it was hard to access any of the veranda space. The bathrooms had very slippery floors & they were quite sticky on touch as was the kitchen bench.
